Beth says…
I envisioned a rustic barn setting with a dusty pink colour palette set off by touches of lighter pink and cream. For me, the dusty pink speaks romance at first sight but is neutralised by the introduction of lighter colours.
My vision had bright lights and tonnes of candles to finish the look: perfect for a cosy barn scene. I found Stretton Manor Barn during my venue search and instantly fell in love. The high ceilings along with their bright chandelier and oak trestle tables screamed rustic chic, yet all the while with a modern and luxurious vibe.
Yasmin from Sparkle Occasions Events immediately understood my vision and colour palette. She sourced the dusty pink runners for the tables in an extended length which allowed us to create a floating candle feature at the end of the tables. We decided on a mixture of cream tapered candles and tealights all encapsulated in gold candlesticks and votives.
The tables were elevated by the stunning florals created by Sparkle and Lace Occasions, set in bud vases burrowed neatly throughout the candles. The crazily artistic Bethany Letters created dusty pink and cream names cards for the table settings. Watching her write the cards so effortlessly without skipping a beat or missing a line, is ridiculously satisfying! We reused the table décor to create an additional ceremony setup, with the feature piece being the floral moongate from Rent for Your Event Derby. Our models had us all in awe throughout the day, they could not have seemed more in love! Destiny and Selene had only met hours before, but their instant chemistry completely shone through on camera. As soon as they heard the “romance” brief, boy did they bring it! They were the perfect glamorous couple in the unique bridal gown by Iconic Bride, and the very dapper tuxedo suit from Brigdens. Both suppliers were a dream to work with and they knew exactly what pieces to suggest for the theme and what would photograph well!
Bish Bosh Becca provided the bespoke handmade bridal accessories that complemented the dress perfectly. Of course, our bride looked particularly glowing thanks to the talented hair and makeup team! Mui from Lumi Bridal and Danielle of Creative DM asked what I had in mind and took my thoughts and ran with the min the best way. Only truly talented professionals can do that so effortlessly! And the art they created was more than I could have hoped for.
Who doesn’t love a flower wall backdrop for hair and makeup shots?! Rent for Your Event Derby also came through with the dreamy pink rose flower wall which made for some beautiful shots all round. Adrian from Tree House Cakes supplied a striking crackle effect cake which spoke such modern glam. The blush pink with the accents of gold sat so well next to the “Mr & Mrs” sign from Stretton Manor Barn.
None of this would have been possible without Helen of Helen Rose Photography. Helen has such a special eye for detail it is almost scary! She is the most perfect hype woman that any couple need behind the camera on their big day. Her direction is soon point, and she sees the beauty in even the smallest of details. She and Olivia Whittaker made the most dynamic photography/videography duo. Talk about a dream team!These ladies work so well together, and Olivia is gifted in the way she captures each individual movement that nobody else may see.
I meticulously planned every minor detail from the size of the floral vases to the varying height of the candlesticks! This photoshoot was the most incredible day and the team we put together was flawless. I am overwhelmed with how well it turned out! This was down to having such an amazing team of professionals working together to create one vision.
